Kidnapped

"What is your name, little girl?"

"Gina," the little girl with bright blue eyes, the same as the idiot Bruno answered me with that cute voice. She was so adorable. How did she end up in this place?

"Why are you here, little girl? Did someone sell you?"

Hopefully is not that Bruno or I will take this girl with me.

"I don't know, daddy was out to do business and I stayed at home with my Melissa, then..." she frowned.

"Who is Melissa?"

"My stepmom," she said. Maybe this is some kind of dramatic story about how a stepmom sold her daughter because she didn't like her. "But she is very kind and treats me very well. I like her a lot. She..."

"Where is she?"

"I don't know," she started to tear up, oh no. Think of something... mmm I know.

"Hey look!"

I took a gold coin from my sleeve, then I disappeared it and appeared it in her hand. She smiled and her mouth suddenly went to a wow expression. Good job.

"Don't worry, little Gina, if your father told you that you will be safe, then he will come for you."

She nodded and continued to look at the golden coin. Tch... should I say that it was not a gift? No, I can take it back, how can I? But... is my golden coin... uwa.

"Hey, over there!"

A guard came to our cell.

"What are you doing there?!"

He opened the door and saw us. I guess he was surprised to not see me drugged and the little girl not crying.

"And..." I said with a smile. "Sleep..." I snapped my fingers in front of him and he suddenly became entranced. The redness of my eyes managed to control his mind. How easy.

"Give me the keys," I said to him and he gave them. "Turn back and act normal."

He went outside with his lecherous expression, ugh. How disgusting.

"Wha... what did you do?" the little girl whispered to me.

"Magic..."

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is our last batch of products for today, I knew you were waiting for them eagerly."

Three hours later, I heard the host announcing, the guests were laughing and shouting for more. Even some shattering glasses and little screams from the waitress came inside the echo.

"Now, for the first one of our premium products, she is a young lady from the south Tiane City, her family sold her out as a way to pay the debt. However, don't get me wrong, my friends. She is a lady of the most refined places in Tiane City, let's welcome Janin."

One girl with dark hair and big light caramel eyes was dragged to the front. She saw hopelessness and her eyes were vacant. Again with the damn drug.

"We will begin with one thousand gold coins!"

The bid was good and pretty intense. I heard she was sold to some man from a mercenary guild at three thousand gold coins. That was freaking much.

"Next..."

Well, we were five girls, and the three before me were dragged and sold pretty quickly. I guess they were reserving us two for the last, maybe Gina would be at the very end.

Tch... she was only a little girl, why would they hold her here? This is insane.

"The next one," some men took Gina before me, what?

She cried, but then I nodded at her and she kept silent. Her beautiful blue eyes turned to look at the floor while only one man was enough to lift her and put her on the stage.

The audience went oh and wow. There were even some shouts and comments from women who saw a good product for their shops in the little girl. If she was raised well, she can become a beauty. I could see it in her delicate and fine face, but those clear blue eyes were something else. She was not ordinary, not even a lady from the noblest families has such pure eyes.

I noticed it when I met Bruno, but he masterly covered it with his imposing bearing. But he was not ordinary too, he had strange magic hidden in his blood. The Healer Blood, it was said. Though, I don't know if these people know about it. I guess they don't know the secrets or maybe they do but they don't say it out loud.

"Three thousand gold, my dear guests."

The bidding started.

"Four thousand!"

"Six thousand!"

"Ten thousand!"

Wow... that was good, so good, in fact, what to do now? Bruno, you didn't win that much with me. I hope you have your savings.

"Twenty thousand!"

Uh, that is a very rich old man. Then, as expected, silence. No one bid any more than that.

"Sold to Mister Bonnet! Congratulations!"

The applause filled the hall and Gina was taken to another room to be prepared. They will clean her again, and they will dress her and put her into the cage to be delivered. Only after all the products had been sold and the price had been paid will the girls be despatched. Well, that was only for the premium products, the other girls were worth so little that they could be delivered once the buyer paid the coins.

"Now for the last one," the audience sucked a breath. The silence invaded the atmosphere and the expectancy reached its highs.

Two men grabbed me from the arms and made me march forward. The audience looked at me and then I looked at them, the host smirked and I smirked.

"As you can see, this product is of the highest quality, my friends," that was not the voice of the host, but mine. "Don't be that surprised, because the show is only starting."

Some of them asked what was going on, some others only laughed as they thought I was interesting. However, a burly man with blue clear eyes met my gaze and chuckled. Damn Bruno. I will see you again, though, you with less three thousand gold coins, and I with plus a title and a name of Jane Veil, daughter of the Count of Veil of the Moiner Dukedom.

"Let's see, where should I start?"

I clapped my hands and the doors shut up suddenly.

"Heh... do you want to feel how is to be kidnapped?"
